"Kids, you knuckleheads were a nuisance and I'm glad to get rid of you."
Stan Pines knew this wouldn't be the last time he'd see his niece and nephew. In fact, he would see them again next summer, he had already worked out the details with the parents. It still hurt like hell to say goodbye though.
Dipper and Mabel smiled.
Their smiles comforted him, they filled him with a feeling he couldn't quite place. Love? Joy? Peace?
"We'll miss you too Grunkle Stan," sniffed Mabel, hugging him ever so tight.
He watched as they waved from inside the bus. Pride. He felt pride. Not for himself, but for them. They had changed, they had grown up just a bit while they were in gravity falls. And they weren't afraid of it anymore. He ran and waved back, mustering up the biggest smile he could. For them. To show them that it would be ok. The bus drove and disappeared into the horizon. They were gone. Stan let out a big sigh.
"They'll return Stanley," reminded Ford. "And we'll have many adventures again next summer too!"
Stan nodded. "I know we will," He grinned. "They'll always return."
